Paper-Thin Carrot Salad – Drop Dead Delicious

Some of my friends make fun of me for talking about death — not in a morbid way; I’m just curious to know how an entire industry can take over our important decisions. When it comes to final preparations, I want to make sure that I’m in control. Forget those expensive wooden boxes. I’ll take this burial suitseeded with mushrooms for a cleaner, greener departure. (Listen to creator-artist Jae Rhim Lee on TED Radio Hour: Rethinking Death or watch her TED Talk.)

Until then, I’m thrilled to be alive and to be telling you about this Paper-Thin Carrot Salad. Savour its creamy, tangy cheddar, slightly bitter greens, crispy slivers of earthy carrot and sweet, sweet apple. It’s drop dead delicious.

This looks and sounds delicious! When you love all the ingredients in a recipe, it can only surpass expectations!
Thank you, Holly, for the constant entertainment and tidbits of fun – you inspire me to cook!

It’s a crazy combo that works. Even people who don’t eat watercress or arugula would probably not mind them in this paper-thin carrot salad. The apple, cheddar, vinegar and seeds all pitch in to make the bitter greens more neutral.
Thanks for the encouragement Mimi!

I love that you are not afraid to express your opinion on this uncomfortable subject and somehow tie it in to a beautiful salad creation while endorsing a useful tool. You are so honest, open and talented.
